حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلاً أَشْرَكَ فِيهِ مَعِي غَيْرِي تَرَكْتُهُ وَشِرْكَهُ»

Abu Hurayrah reported the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) as stating that Allah the Most High and Exalted said: I am the One, One Who does not stand in need of a partner. If anyone does anything in which he associates anyone else with Me, I shall abandon him with one whom he associates with Allah.

ইবনু নুমায়র (রহঃ) ..... হাফসাহ্ (রাযিঃ) বলেন, আমি বললাম, হে আল্লাহর রসূল! কী ব্যাপার, আপনি ইহরাম খুলেননি? ... উপরোক্ত হাদীসের অনুরূপ।

خالد بن مخلد نے مالک سے ، انھوں نے نافع سے انھوں نے ابن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے ، انھوں نے حضرت حفصہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے روایت کی ، انھوں نے فرمایا : " میں نے عرض کی : اے اللہ کے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ! کیا وجہ ہے کہ آپ نے احرا م نہیں کھولا ؟ ( آگے ) مذکورہ بالا حدیث کے مانند ہے ۔

{…} Bize, bu hadîsi İbni Numeyr de rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Hâlid b. Mahled, Mâlik'den, o da Nâfİ'den, o da İbni Ömer'den, o da Hafsa (Radiyallahu anha)'dan naklen rivayet eti. Şöyle demiş: «Yâ Resûlallah! Sen, neden hille çatmıyorsun? dedim.» ve yukarki hadîs gibi rivayette bulunmuş

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that Allah Almighty said: I am the One Who is most free from want of partners. He is Self-Sufficient beyond the need for anything; and if a person performs any good deed and devotes it to Allah and others, Allah discards this deed and does not accept it from him, and He turns it back to him. So, we should make our deeds sincerely devoted to Allah Almighty, for He only accepts what is done purely for His sake.

What it teaches

  • This serves as a warning about polytheism in all its forms and means that it prevents virtuous deeds from being accepted.
  • Our sense of Allah's self-sufficiency and greatness helps us do honorable deeds with sincerity to Him.
